You dont need first names for any. Thats how important they were.

Well, that and there isn't a lot of surname overlap for famous comedians

4th is harder. those 3 though, they're each arguable GOAT and influenced multiple generations as well as countless comedians. tentatively, and scanning through this topic:

Jon Stewart

Daily Show's influence is one i'd put over people like Gervais, Norm, Eddie Murphy, or Joan who i'd consider possible 4ths too. but of them, i gotta stick with Jon.

switch Jon Stewart with Robin Williams.

can't believe i forgot him. that man's standup was absolute gold and his bit on golf is one of the best of all time. his movie career half the time was improv too; they literally could not write him into parts, that's how good he was.

I'll let you guys decide this one. My stand-up experience is mostly just liking Chapelle and Louis CK and being burned by both. Currently enjoying Taylor Tomlinson and am eagerly awaiting the day she is revealed to secretly eat babies or whatever

another name surprisingly missed on these lists is Bill Burr. he's gonna be top 3 easy among modern ones so i'd have expected something considering the other names thrown around.

Richard Pryor
George Carlin
Robin Williams
Bo Burnham

Burnham is the not obvious choice, but he's basically the stand standup comedian of the current generation, nobody really comes close except maybe John Mulaney

Bill Burr
Bo Burnham

Those are a couple others that I've enjoyed and neither has massively disappointed me yet, so sure here's some pity votes

This topic has little time left, but now it has me thinking about how comedians just from the past ten years is a pretty wide-open conversation.

Glad to see Bo get a mention. I used to not "get" him back in his YouTube days, but Words Words Words and most of his work ever since has been terrific and Inside was so good even his deleted scenes were still legit.
